Any Info on this Valetta crash landing?

Found this old and faded photo my late Father took in the old albums.

During the 60's he served in Muharraq and Aden. While flying as a passenger on this aircraft they experienced a crash landing, which he took a photograph of.

Any detectives able to shed any light on the aircraft or the incident, or is it a bit vague?

PpA quick trawl found “the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archive” which records the crash of VW803 at Mukeiras on June 17th 1960.  Brake failure resulted in the aeroplane going off the end of the runway and being damaged beyond repair.  All other Valletta accidents listed by them are either 1950s and/or away from the Middle East.
